The Priority Pass card is valid for 12 months from the date of issue. At the end of 12 months, you will receive a renewed Priority Pass.

The Priority Pass can be used in more than 600 lounges across more than 100 countries worldwide. It is valid in all the lounges that come under the Priority Pass programme. The updated list of lounges is available at http://www.prioritypass.com/under the 'Lounge Search' option.

I am a supplementary card member. Is this facility applicable to me?

Priority Pass is a privilege extended only to primary card members. However, you can use the lounge facilities as a guest along with the primary card member. Lounge visit charges as per guests rates are applicable in this case.

What if I am traveling with a colleague who isn't a member of Priority Pass?

You can invite friends or guests to join in the lounges. Please remember, in such cases, the cost of the lounge visit for the guest accompanying you will be charged to your card as per the applicable guest visit charges.

These charges will reflect in your monthly billing statement along with the name of the lounge you visited. The billing date is not the same as the date of visit.

How will be the lounge visit charges be billed to me?

Total Lounge Visit Charge Amount

Total Lounge Visit Amount in USD will be converted into INR (exchange rate applicable on the date of levying the amount in the card account). Hence the lounge visit charge amount will be calculated as follows:

Conversion to US dollar charge to Indian Rupees

Lounge visit charge in USD * rate of exchange applicable on the day of posting the debit = Lounge visit charge in Indian Rupees ($ 25 * 60 = Rs. 1500). The lounge visit charge varies depending on the part of the world in which the lounge is located (please refer the schedule of charges above).

The foreign currency conversion rate will be the rate applicable on the day the transaction is posted. The charged amount will be posted in the card account at least a month following the month in which you visited the lounge.

How will the Lounge Visit charge appear in my monthly statement?

The transaction narration/description for every lounge visit would appear in the system as:

Lounge Name

Visit Date

For Example, If you have accessed the Clipper Lounge at the Mumbai Domestic Airport on January 11, 2015, the narration will read as ‘Clipper Bar Lounge 11-Jan-15’.

The narration will appear separately for card member visit and guest visit.

If I lose my Priority Pass, whom should I report it to?

Please contact ICICI Bank at the toll-free number 1800-22-8181 or at one of the city-specific 24- hour Customer Care numbers. We will issue a new Priority Pass absolutely free of cost.

Please note that in case the loss is not reported to us and any lounges are accessed with your Priority Pass, the lounge visits will continue to be charged to your Corporate Card account. Hence we urge you to report any loss at the earliest.
